Her Majesty’s Record of Needlework, Knitting and Royal Proclamations

Sock it to me Baby!

I finished the second sock and now have a PAIR. How exciting is that? I’m not thrilled with the Wick yarn. I had painfully obvious ladders in the first sock, so I knit in the back for the first stitch on every needle on the second sock and instead of ladders, I had lumps. Oh well, live and learn. I’m going to make them again for myself in Cascade Fixation, which I am told is very springy and hides ladders. We shall see. No pictures, camera batteries need to be recharged.

In any event, now that the gift socks are complete, I can go on to something else. I’ve spent 2 hours today deleting most of the 3500 emails in my inbox. Yes, THIRTY-FIVE HUNDRED emails. I’ve unsubscribed from the ones I will never read and deleted thousands en masse without even reading them. I’m so proud of myself.

Then I started looking at blogs again, which I haven’t done in a long time, and I am seriously motivated to start stitching again. So that is what I will be doing this evening after the wee one goes to bed. But for now, it’s dinner time and then we’re off to the dairy bar for a chocolate covered soft-serve cone. I love summer.
